Internship Location: Madison WI
Organization Type: Nonprofit
Policy Areas: Environment
I learned about how an organization interacts with their donors and keeps them updated on current statistics surrounding the lakes and current policies. I was surprised by how often the public is kept in the loop through mailings and social media postings. I learned the most about how to communicate in an office setting and summarize current events within an organization. I think I would recommend this internship to students if they are willing to put themselves out their and are willing to be outgoing in a work setting as I think that is one thing I have to work on. This internship showed me what I need to improve upon in that realm in order to be more successful in my future career.
